THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
November 15, 1985
The President today announced his intention to appoint
14 members to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board (PFIAB) for two-year terms. The Board was recently
reconstituted by the President on October 28, 1985, by
Executive Order 12537. The most significant change in the new
Board is that it establishes a limit of 14 members. The
existing PFIAB, with 21 members, had grown to a size that made
it difficult to carry out its advisory responsibilities.
The PFIAB is a permanent, non-partisan body of distinguished
Americans who perform a continuing and objective review of
the performance of the Intelligence community.- The Board
reports directly to the President, and has full access to all
information necessary to advise the President on the conduct,
management, and coordination of the various agencies of the
Intelligence community.
The PFIAB (then known as the Board of Consultants on Foreign
Intelligence Activities) was first established by President
Eisenhower in 1956. The Board was continued by each President
thereafter until its termination in 1977 by President Carter.
The PFIAB_was reconstituted by the President on October 20,
1981, by Executive Order 12311.
